That book isnt a maint manual.  That is nothing but the operators manual
normally found in the glove box.  Don�t remember where but there are repros
of those around.  Still have mine for my 82 around here.  Would sell for
half of that with no problem.

I have seen books that were in almost new condition with the addendum books
go for half of that one.

Planned insanity is best.
Remember that sanity is optional.
